Bilirakis Wins Another Award for Constituent Communication

WASHINGTON, D.C., Earlier today, Congressman Gus Bilirakis was declared the 2023 winner for the Constituent Communications award within the House Republican Conference.  As part of this annual competition, Members of Congress seek to increase constituent engagement by diversifying their modes of official communication to include: email, text, e-surveys, radio, social media, tele-townhalls, and physical mail.  Bilirakis gathered input from his constituents on a wide range of topics, including:  education, healthcare, Constitutional protections, inflation, hurricane damage, environmental protection and the current direction of the nation.  That feedback is used to help guide his work in Washington.   This is the second consecutive year Bilirakis has won this Constituent Communication Award.  He has also won other national awards for communication and constituent service from the Congressional Management Foundation. 

"I am humbled to once again receive this prestigious honor," said Congressman Gus Bilirakis. "I believe that the best ideas come from the people I serve, and it is important to establish effective lines of communication to ensure I have a good pulse on the issues that matter most to my constituents.  Everyone communicates, but effective communication requires connection and that can only happen when everyone is actively engaged.  Listening is the most important aspect of communication, and I am continuously working to improve and modernize processes to better understand my constituents' needs so that I can provide targeted resources to help."
